Why Sell Now: Depreciation Trends
Your Rogue gained $930 in value from 2025 to now per KBB. But look at the pattern:
| Year | Resale Value | Annual Drop |
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $5,439 | $1,021 |
| 2024 | $4,331 | $1,108 |
| 2025 | $3,845 | $486 |
| Now | $4,775 | +$930 |
This recent bump won't last. KBB forecasts more depreciation in the next 2 years based on Manheim Auction data. High-mileage vehicles lose value faster as repair costs rise. Sidekick owner data from 1,200+ Florida vehicles shows SUVs over 120,000 miles drop 15-20% yearly after age 14, says the Sidekick Research Team (Source: Sidekick Vehicle Analysis, Q1 2026).
Spring markets in Florida (ZIP 32003) peak now through May. Demand for used SUVs stays strong before summer travel. Wait longer, and values could fall another $500-$1,000 by fall.
